Trivia
Looking for more realism, director Javier Fesser wanted non-professional actors, but real-life disabled people for the basketball team. All of them make their debut with this movie.

Goofs
The employee of the shop looks very much after his motor home, and he is very reluctant to lend it. As an example of how much he takes care of the van, he mentions that he uses 98 octane petrol (gas). Motor homes in Spain (except for a few very old ones) run on diesel.

Quotes
Marco: My job is to train normal players. These guys aren't players, or normal.
Julio: And who is normal, Marco? Are you and I normal?

Crazy credits
There is one more scene just before the closing credits are complete.

great fun

Watched as part of institute cervantes festival, thank you

this starts of in a completey differnet direction and doesnt stop ducking and weaving right to the end as have a fabulour hilarious ride along. Its so clever in handleing its theme or several theme that any audience is going to have a hoot. Highly recommend , effective use of the instrument of cinema!
